The Community Advisory Coalition (CAC)

The Community Advisory Coalition (CAC) is a mobilization of over sixty community service providers, advocates, faith leaders and residents who live, work, worship, and serve within the South Los Angeles region of Second Los Angeles County Supervisorial District (D2).

This working group is dedicated to the advocacy and sustainability of STD services especially with populations at elevated risk – juvenile hall, foster care, probation, etc. Their work frames and informs ways for youth and young adults to access and utilize a variety of services that support prevention and well as on-going well being.

This Systems Change Working Group of WeCanStopSTDsLA addresses the various systems that come together to support the sexual health of youth and young adults in District 2 South LA. The group aims to facilitate service coordination, build bridges between stakeholder entities, and encourage advocacy and strategic actions on behalf of the community in order to ensure adequate support for youth and young adults, especially the most vulnerable and those at elevated risk for STDs.

WeCanStopSTDsLA believes the various communities of faith within South LA are absolutely critical to making an impact in achieving our movement’s vision of youth and young adults in district 2 and South LA living healthy lifestyles in a thriving and supportive community.

A key ingredient of the WeCanStopSTDsLA initiative is the inclusion of the youth and young adult who will benefit from the program the most. This Working Group creates a network of existing, emerging, and new groups focused on D2 residents at elevated risk for STDs including young African American and/or Latina women, youth at elevated interfaith youth groups, school-based groups, and young adults.

The Logistics & Operations Working Group focuses its time and energies on the overall coordination and governance of the CAC. Its primary task is to ensure the Strategic Plan that was developed in 2014-2015 is adhered to and implemented in thoughtful, practical, and successful ways. Key to the group’s involvement is the coordination and governance of the CAC and its various policies, working groups, and strategies. To ensure ongoing success, the Group also oversees resource and fund development and coordinates with the CAC’s strategic partnerships, the Public Health Department and the District 2 Supervisor’s office. The Logistics & Operations Working Group also serves as a parent group for the Data & Evaluation Working Group and the Strategic Communications Working Group.
